Old Fashioned Raisin Pie

This is my dad’s favorite pie, maybe I should say one of my dad’s favorite pies. I think chocolate pie would rank high on the list also. The filling for this pie is easy to make and has a rich caramel flavor and raisins, lots of raisins.

Combine raisins and water in saucepan, bring to boil and cook for 5 minutes. Blend brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt together, slowly stir into hot raisins. Cook and stir until thick and syrup is clear. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice, butter, and vanilla. Cool slightly.

I would like to know what kind of raisins you use. They are so much kind of raisins that we are confused when it’s time to choose the right kind. Do you have a favorite kind of raisins to make your pies!! Thank you so much!! XXXX

I am 69 years old and I remember my Mom making raisin pie. It was a family favorite. I know it sounds morbid, but she use to call it “Funeral Pie.” When you attended a funeral in those days everybody brought pot luck and there was always a raisin pie served. Thanks for the memories.
